SurpriseYourself answered Friday January 21 2005, 4:41 pm: ok i just read some of the other peoples answers and i have to say this, your kid does not hate you, its a fact in life, but give your kid some space their growing up, theyll like to hang with their friends and do what they want, if you give them their freedom they will like you and respect you more, but set ground rule, you know cant stay out past whenever, i have to know where u r at all times, stuff like that, and talk to them about it and their friends make sure they know your just tryin to be cool with their wishes you just gotta be in tune with it
MY ADVICE: let them have their space but make sure they know your rules,they will break them sometimes, but hey, their getting older
trust me- im a teen myself [ SurpriseYourself's advice column | Ask SurpriseYourself A Question ]

xoxBECCAxox answered Friday December 31 2004, 2:47 pm: First of all, why do they hate you, i mean if its because of your rules or w/e then when he/she gets older he/she will understand that your only doing this because u love them, and thats what all parents do, including mine. but ill admit it i hate them at times and well i still love them and nothing will change that but i bet your kid feels the same way..you should talk to your kid and see how he/she feels, because im pretty sure that would help.
Good luck

PleaseHelpMe answered Friday December 31 2004, 1:32 am: All kids hate their parents. If they claim to hate you beacause of your rules, it's only because they're not getting their way. When they grow up the'll understand, and be happy that you were strict with them. Good luck! [ PleaseHelpMe's advice column | Ask PleaseHelpMe A Question ]

Shortie8959 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 10:59 pm: Hey, don't worry, I'm sure your kid doesn't hate you. Sometimes it seems like I hate my mom, but I really don't. What helps is talking to him/her and telling them how you feel. Sounding pitiful helps, my mom's tried that and it worked on me. Lol. I guess it would help to know why they hated you. Maybe try giving them more space. Teenagers (which I am one) want more space. Time to be w/ their friends. This is the age where parents just aren't cool and want nothing to do with them. (I guess if your kid's a teenager) Try doing something nice for them. It'll suprise them, and they won't hate you. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
Happy New Years!

xO_Chelsea_Ox answered Thursday December 30 2004, 9:48 pm: Okay, a lot of people say to talk to them... If they are teenagers, then they WILL NOT listen!! I know this for a fact because i am one! Once children get older, they want to spend more time with thier friends then their family, you have to except this. I HATE my mother, people say that i don't, but i really do! She pays more attention to my little sister more than me and it is really obvious too! Don't sit down and talk to them, that just gets them more angry and pissed. Just ground them by taking away their phone and computer and not letting them go out. And we hate family quality time, we get really bored with that. If you got video games or board games that they like, just pull it out of the closet and play with them! they will have fun then! I hoped i helped!! :)
frenchfriez22 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 9:33 pm: Well you should develop a relationship with them. Take them and do different activities with him/her.

charmed-cherry21 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 8:38 pm: Ground them. Threaten to send them to boot camp. All kids hate their parents at one point or another. But they don't exactly hate them just strongly dislike. Grounding usually helps a little bit.
omggitserica answered Thursday December 30 2004, 8:14 pm: as a kid, i will tell you what our view is. Your kids dont hate you, they just act like they do and/or say they do. They are not afraid of hurting your feelings because the love you, and they know you will always love them back. They may be turning rebellious because they feel you dont understand, and the more you try to stop them from doing things without a reason that seems good to them, the more there going to want to do it. Its a kid thing. Well...i hope i helped

MakalahLea answered Thursday December 30 2004, 8:07 pm: Children test the limits with their parents to see what they can get away with. It doesnt have anything to do with hate, more with immaturity and lack of self esteem. Set rules and refuse to budge. Establish punishments for certain behaviors and do not back down. Explain to your child when they are punished (and when you are first setting these rules) that you love him/her, are concerned for him/her and are trying to help him/her mold into the responsible adult that you know that he/she can be. Children are more comfortable in most circumstances when their boundaries are clearly defined for them because it shows them that their parents love them otherwise you wouldnt bother. Dont yell at your child when he/she does wrong, talk to him/her. Be involved in his/her schooling and after school activities. Love your child openly and the animosity should dissolve. Try this for a while and if that doesnt work consider talking to your child's school counselor about the problem. They might be able to help you and your child talk. Best Wishes!
